World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking ideaâ€”the power of our mindset. Â Dweck explains why itâ€™s not just our abilities and talent that bring us successâ€”but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesnâ€™t foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goalsâ€”personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.
